Entrepreneur Fair will return to EPES

East Petersburg Elementary School (EPES), 5700 Lemon St., will host its annual Entrepreneur Fair on Friday, March 22, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and the public is invited to attend. The free event will feature more than 50 student-run businesses and nearly 100 participants, making it the largest fair since it was created in 2008.

“The kids really enjoy creating a product. They get excited when they learn about making a profit, and it’s a huge confidence builder.”

Every year, EPES students are given an opportunity to make their own unique businesses prior to the fair. The young entrepreneurs are given full creative liberty to design a product of their choosing as they learn about fundamental business concepts such as supply and demand, profit and loss, budgeting and inventory management. In the past, students have created businesses to sell handcrafted jewelry, baked goods, snow cones, flowers and artwork. Each vendor will retain 100% of the profits from sales on the day of the fair.

“The kids really enjoy creating a product. They get excited when they learn about making a profit, and it’s a huge confidence builder,” said Liz Gee, vice president of the EPES PTO. Gee co-chairs the Entrepreneur Fair with the PTO’s treasurer, Michele Brenneman.

In February, as students developed their businesses, they attended a mentor session at EPES that featured guest speaker Bennett Dufrene. Dufrene, a 13-year-old entrepreneur from Landisville, started his own business four years ago to sell ice cream at local community events. Known to many local residents as Mr. Ice Cream Kid, Dufrene gave students advice and shared his experience operating a successful business.

This year, vendors at the Entrepreneur Fair will be judged by student participants instead of PTO members. Awards such as best in show, most creative product and Mister and Miss Salesman will be decided by popular vote. A fourth award will be given to the most profitable business after an expense report and receipts are submitted to the PTO.

The Mountville Lions Club will host its annual chicken potpie supper on Saturday, March 16, at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 100 W. Main St., Mountville. From 10 a.m.

until supplies run out, participants may pick up takeout meals for a set price, as well as various desserts such as pies and cakes.

In addition to the meals, Lions Brooms will be available to purchase during the event. The brooms were previously

The Lancaster Academy for the Performing Arts will present “Annie Get Your Gun” on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 21, 22 and 23, at Lancaster Country Day School’s Gardner Theater, 725 Hamilton Road, Lancaster. Shows will begin at 7 p.m., and Saturday will include a matinee at 1:30 p.m. in addition to the evening performance.

Tickets for general admission and reserved seating are

available to purchase online for a discounted price, and tickets will be sold at the door prior to each show. Children will receive a discounted rate for both general admission and reserved seating.

Director Brittany Beitzel’s decision to select “Annie Get Your Gun” as this year’s spring musical was influenced by multiple factors. The play is a personal favorite of Beitzel’s, and she cites it as the main reason she decided to pursue theater professionally after seeing it for the first time at 13 years old. “I

The gardener’s best friend: The role of the humble earthworm in sustainable agriculture

Home gardeners and commercial agricultural enterprises are increasingly integrating more natural and sustainable practices into plant production. Although chemical pesticides and fertilizers can improve crop yields, chemicals can deteriorate soil efficiency and may affect the ecosystem in negative ways. In lieu of turning to these products, farmers and home gardeners may benefit from relying more heavily on the humble earthworm.

These shy, light-sensitive creatures burrow through the soil, pulling leaves and other plant matter deep within. When the earthworms consume this detritus, the decomposed plants as well as the worms’ droppings provide nutrients to the soil. Together with microbes, earthworms convert biodegradable materials and organic waste into

nutrient-rich products. They also may help reduce instances of soil-borne diseases.

The benefits of worms do not end there. Earthworms also aerate the soil, enabling water to be absorbed, which helps develop strong plant roots. Earthworm burrows serve as channels where roots can elongate into deeper soil layers, enabling plants to grow more securely and deeply. This, in turn, can help reduce soil erosion. While research is ongoing, there are some reports that the unique talents of earthworms can help convert land that is largely barren into fertile soil. According to CABI, an international, inter-governmental, notfor-profit organization that provides information and applies scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment, earthworms are

useful for the management of biodiversity.

Gardeners and farmers may decide to try raising earthworms to produce compost - an activity known as vermiculture or vermicomposting. Worms may be purchased or found for breeding. Individuals will need a worm box, which can be made at home or bought from a gardening shop; materials include plastic and untreated wood. The earthworms will need a dark, moist environment with a temperature of at least 25 degrees Fahrenheit.

To start a worm farm, place moistened paper scraps into one half of the worm box. Deposit the worms on top and give them opportunities to hide. Place small amounts of organic matter, such as kitchen scraps, coffee grounds and leaves, on

the paper layer every day. Leave the other side of the worm box empty, as this is where the worm dropping compost will eventually collect. Alternately, some worm farms are multi-level systems; as new levels with fresh food materials are added, some of the worms move upward into these new habitats, leaving behind the compost in the lower levels.

After two or three months, the worms should have produced a quantity of compost inhabited by newly hatched worms, which may be released into the garden along with the compost. Leave some worms behind to continue to reproduce.

By following this method, people can harness the power of the humble earthworm to amend the soil in natural ways, reducing the need to use chemical products and protecting biodiversity.

More time in the sun: Greenhouses can extend growing season

Modern, large-scale agriculture operations utilize various machines and technologies to provide products to consumers. Greenhouses are among the resources used to help plants thrive.

Greenhouses are not a new phenomenon, even if today’s incarnations may be more technologically advanced than their ancestors. The first attempts to grow plants in greenhouse-like structures likely date back to ancient Egypt, but there are writings from the Romans as early as 14 BC explaining greenhouse operations. The Roman emperor Tiberius wanted to eat cucumbers all year long, but Roman winters would not allow for cucumbers to thrive when temperatures dropped below freezing.

Rolling cucumber growing

carts into sheds only did so much. Someone came up with the concept of making sheds with sheets of a transparent rock to let the sun in and help keep cucumbers growing indoors warm. The idea took off from there.

Greenhouses consist of walls and roofing materials primarily made of a transparent material. The interior of a greenhouse exposed to sunlight becomes significantly warmer than the exterior, helping to protect plants inside from extreme conditions and enabling plants to thrive even when weather conditions are not optimal. Through the years, greenhouses also may have incorporated some form of additional heating.

Keeping plants thriving for commercial production now gets additional

help from computers, as relying on sunlight alone may result in fluctuations in optimal conditions. Modern greenhouses can now employ smart technology for heating, cooling and lighting according to the cultivation technology company Growlink. This equipment is connected to a computer that can adjust conditions according to the particular plant being produced, such as tropical fruits, which require more moisture and heat.

Anyone who desires a greenhouse for personal plant growth may build one in his or her backyard with various plans available for free or purchase. Companies also sell prefabricated greenhouse kits that can be assembled with relative ease.

Handy homeowners also may construct basic

greenhouses with materials found at many home improvement retailers. A wood frame greenhouse can be built in any size and covered with plastic sheeting. For the door, people may purchase a prefabricated greenhouse door or simply use a sheet of weighted plastic that can be tied out of the way. To allow for ventilation in hot weather, a wood-frame vent that can be propped open can be incorporated into the roof rafter design.

Those who want a more permanent structure may look into using greenhouse plastic paneling in lieu of plastic sheeting. Either way, home greenhouses can be as elaborate or as simple as individuals desire.

Greenhouses are effective ways to extend growing seasons for both commercial and home gardeners.

Entrepreneur Fair from pg 1

“The fair is always very well attended by the community. All are welcome,” said Brenneman. “We encourage kids to invite people and promote the event by sending emails and hanging up posters in school, so it also gives them a chance to learn about marketing and how to get the word out.”

Many former EPES students such as Libby Rannels enjoy returning to the fair as adults to support the vendors and browse their products. Rannels, who participated in the Entrepreneur Fair in 2009 as a student, said the event gave her an opportunity to learn skills that continue to serve her in adult life. “It was good to learn

For the past three years, Uncharted Lancaster has held an annual real-life treasure hunt involving hundreds of people that has given away $4,700 to a handful of participants while raising more than $10,000 for local nonprofits like the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County (HPT).

This year, the tradition will continue with the Raiders of the Golden Osprey Adventure. The treasure hunt will kick off on Saturday, April 6, promising a five-week expedition, weekly cash prizes and the chance to win a share of $3,250.

Players will explore Lancaster and Lebanon counties over five weeks as they race to uncover the legendary Golden Osprey, a fictional treasure hidden more than two millennia ago by ancient Phoenician explorers who discovered the Susquehanna River. There will be rewards issued for first-, second- and third-place winners.

An honorable mention will go to the fourth-place team with the highest score on the leaderboard (and not among the first three Golden Osprey

finders). All four teams will receive a full-size 3D printed commemorative Golden Osprey souvenir.

To play, participants must purchase a treasure diary; register a team beginning on Saturday, March 16; check Uncharted Lancaster’s website every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. for that week’s challenges; and solve the weekly riddles and decipher the clues to unlock segments of the treasure’s GPS coordinates.

The Raiders of the Golden Osprey Adventure requires participants to utilize local history knowledge, puzzle-solving skills and the ability to navigate non-level terrain, making it a game of skill suitable for adventure enthusiasts of all ages.

Proceeds will benefit the HPT, with a portion from every treasure diary purchase going to the nonprofit. Funds going to HPT will contribute to its digital archiving project, which aims to scan the 160,000 artifact collection and preserve Lancaster County’s architectural heritage.

crafted by those with impaired vision as an auxiliary fundraiser; broom sales continue to benefit the Lions Club, but the brooms are now fashioned by Amish craftsmen in the local community.

The tradition of hosting an annual chicken potpie supper in the fall and spring has been upheld by the Lions Club for over half a century. The fundraising event has remained largely unchanged through the decades, and members of the organization continue to prepare the food using the same community-favorite recipe. Before the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the fundraiser included a dine-in supper with an option to take food to go. The format of the event was altered after the pandemic to only offer a takeout option.

The chicken potpie supper is one of the Lions Club’s largest sources of revenue, and it helps the organization fund several community service projects. The club’s ventures include offering assistance to community members with visual impairments, funding scholarships for Hempfield High School students and completing miscellaneous service projects in Mountville such as installing wheelchair ramps to make the town more accessible to residents. Last fall, the Lions Club purchased six benches to replace those currently located at local parks and bus stops along Main Street. The old benches were installed by Lions Club members more than 30 years ago, and the organization plans to place the new seats this spring.

“The chicken potpie fundraiser is always well-supported by the community,” said Mountville Lions Club member Eric Weaver, who has helped organize the event for over a decade. “We think it’s really good potpie, but a lot of people support it because they know it’s for a good cause. The Lions Club is a good way to give back to the community and to enjoy fellowship with good people while you’re doing it.”

Musical from pg 1

was just so inspired by the story, the sweeping music and the comedy,” Beitzel said. “I felt like it would be the perfect show for these kids to take on, and it also is a show that speaks a lot to some deeper meanings.”

“Annie Get Your Gun” was debuted on Broadway in 1946, featuring music and lyrics written by renowned composer Irving Berlin. The story is based on the life and exploits of Annie Oakley, a real-life sharpshooter who rose to fame in the late 19th century as a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show.

Annie, played by Mary Frances Eschenwald of Ronks, is a rowdy and kind-hearted markswoman who learned to shoot as a child to provide for her family in rural Ohio. After defeating famous gunman Frank Butler, played by Jack Etter, Annie embarks on a journey to become one of the most legendary performers in American history.

As a young woman with humble origins, Annie faces many challenges as she climbs to stardom. The play incorporates themes such as humility, rivalry, selfless love and treating others with compassion as Annie navigates the world of show business and defies the prejudices of her time.

“It’s an incredible story that I’m

really passionate about,” Eschenwald said. “Annie Oakley is such a one-in-a-million character; she has a competitive, prideful side to her, but she also wears her heart on her sleeve and fights for equality and justice for others.” Eschenwald and Etter will star beside Brian Boyle as Buffalo Bill and Josiah Werner in the role of Charlie Davenport.

The Lancaster Academy for the Performing Arts draws students from across Lancaster County, many of whom are homeschooled. This is the first year the academy will hold a show at Gardner Theater, making “Annie Get Your Gun” one of its largest-scale productions to date.
